BOKA preach new regulations

The event, which was held at BOKA hall, was meant to introduce the officials to the new World Karate Federation (WKF) rules and regulations which will be applied this year. They will start with the BOKA Senior first leg national team selection and team championship set for the February 7. BOKA vice president-technical, Union Kgafela, told Sport Monitor that it is always important for technical officials to be taken through refresher courses annually because rules of the game keep changing and improving.

He explained that there is nothing like knowing every rule in karate because that can be dangerous and lead to disqualification of athletes during the competitions.
